SliTaz unfortunately lacks default UTF-8 support. But I need UTF-8 environment, so that I built my flavor and here I released UTF-8 flavor(asimo flavor-v1.5). This flavor is also customized with useful applications. If you think worth a try, download from:

The following is a brief summary:

1- NetworkManager including vpn plugins and Midori

2- Start networkmanager applet: Select Applications -> Internet -> NetworkManger Applet

3- user management tools: 'adduser' with pam

4- Basic firewall rules enabled

5- dm-crypt

6- TinyX: Not all video cards work with Xvesa. I added Xephyr with framebuffer.

7- i18n: en_US.UTF-8 locale

8- Squashfs'ed iso format: This iso works with 256Mb RAM. There are two ways to install to physical drive such as a hard drive; (a)squahfs + aufs and (b)normal filesystem

(a)Using squahfs + aufs

# lzmacat rootfs.gz | cpio -id
# mkdir /boot && cp vmlinuz-($VER)-slitaz /boot

- setup grub
- add kernel parameter: init=/init2

(b)Using normal filesystem
Intact rootfs resides on /.aufs/ro

# cd /.aufs/ro
# cp -a * (to target partition)
# mkdir /boot && cp vmlinuz-($VER)-slitaz /boot

- setup grub

9-lxpanel removed

10- Setup wireless with MS driver:

- Install a driver

# ndiswrapper - (driver name).inf

- Add 'ndiswrapper' to 'LOAD_MODULES=' line in /etc/rcS.conf.

Bad thing is that this flavor is less compatible to official cooking packages. Upgrading package is possible problems. Just installing package is OK. but there exist several different name with official packages. It is potentially to happen to overwrite package with official package inadvertently.
